Copernicus Wealth Management Expands to the Middle East

Swiss asset manager Copernicus Wealth Management has opened an office in Dubai’s International Financial Centre. With an experienced team on the ground and a new DFSA license, the firm is targeting wealthy individuals, families, and institutional investors across the Gulf region.

Copernicus Wealth Management announced the opening of its Dubai office on Wednesday, marking its first step into the Gulf region. The move underscores the company’s ambition to serve high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutional investors with Swiss-style wealth management expertise.

The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has granted Copernicus a Category 3C license. This authorization allows the firm to offer its services across the region, providing clients with access to advisory solutions and discretionary portfolio management.

Logical Step in Global Growth

The new Dubai office launches with an eight-member team led by Husam Manna, a seasoned banker with extensive wealth management experience and strong knowledge of the local market. His leadership is expected to help the firm quickly establish a foothold in the region.

«Opening in the DIFC is a logical step in our international expansion,» said Daniel Savary, Executive Chairman of Copernicus Wealth Management (Middle East). «With our DFSA Category 3C license, we can bring our Swiss tradition of quality, independence, and client-focused services to a dynamic and growing market.»

Milestone For Global Growth Strategy

The DIFC office will cater to private clients, families, and institutions by offering bespoke investment solutions, advisory services, and portfolio management. The goal is to combine global investment expertise with local insight.

The Dubai expansion represents a milestone in Copernicus’ global growth strategy. The team will collaborate closely with headquarters in Lugano and the Zurich branch to ensure consistent, high-quality service backed by strong governance and regulatory standards.
